Ersoy Survives; Litvinov Gets a Penalty

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Cagdas Ersoy shoved for around 200,000 from under the gun and Andrey Litvinov called in the next seat. When it got to Tamazi Skhirtladze, Litvinov revealed his cards, perhaps without realizing that Skhirtladze still had to act.

The floor were called to give a ruling and while it was being explained, Skhirtladze folded.

Cagdas Ersoy: Q10 All in
Andrey Litvinov: A10

Ersoy was dominated and on the brink of elimination, but managed to river a queen on the 78J7Q runout to stay alive.

After the hand, Litvinov was given a two-hand penalty for exposing his cards early.
